My Manifesto

I thought it was appropriate to provide blog readers with my original manifesto pledges for future reference:

* Our University
1) I will fight for Liberation Officer presence on the University’s Equality and Diversity Committee
2) I will lobby Stonewall to extend the provisions of the Diversity Champions Award to cover students as well as staff.

* Our Union
3) I will mandate our sabbatical officers to commit resources such as staff time.
4) I will ensure the Union provides access to activist training for Liberation Association campaigns.

* Our Campaign
5) I will source activist training for 50 new activists in term one 2008.
6) I will use this team of campaigners to survey 300 LGBTQ students on their education and welfare issues, prioritising their own campaigns.

From these 6 promises I will achieve:
1) Improved strength of existent LGBTQ representation
2) Legitimised and improved accuracy of this representation
3) Informed campaigning
4) Make LGBTQ equality in education a Union objective, and from a strong Union, a University objective.
